Axiom ax-mulass 8178

Description: Multiplication of complex numbers is associative. Axiom for real and complex numbers, justified by Theorem axmulass 8136. Proofs should normally use mulass 8206 instead. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 22-Nov-1994.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
ax-mulass	⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ℂ ∧ 𝐶 ∈ ℂ) → ((𝐴 · 𝐵) · 𝐶) = (𝐴 · (𝐵 · 𝐶)))
